Here’s the new update:

I’ve been cleared for third infusion for today (5/21). It’s good news, just feeling anxious about the side effects. The weekend, day 3-6 are rough. Thankfully it’s summer and being outside really helps.

Also some positive news is my CA125 number have dropped from 37,000 (extremely high) to 1,342 so the infusions are working. The goal is to get to under 20 by end of summer.

They changed my surgery date to July 9 so I can have a full 21 days of recovery after my fourth infusion (June 11). 

I will have about a five+ day hospital stay after surgery due to the hysterectomy/HIPEC procedure and need to be in ICU for recovery. Then transition home for the month of July and when recovered I will do some final infusions in August. Goal is to be NED (no evidence of disease) by September. 

Of course, this is just a rough draft plan and I continue to pray for strength and courage as we navigate this new path. Having Rob as my partner through this journey has been incredible, he’s been invaluable for my healing.

Thanks for the continued support & encouragement. I cannot image going through this challenge without my family, friends and colleagues love. Very grateful. 🤍

It’s been 12 days from Wednesday 4/30/25.

The weekend after was my grandson’s 3rd birthday. Day 3-7 are kinda wild. Physical discomfort that affects your life. Grateful for supportive family and friends to help me through the process.

Going into the great unknown.

Here’s a photo from my first chemotherapy session. It was pretty intense emotionally, and physically…thankful to have Rob with me. The staff at the Providence infusion center are amazing people who took care of me.

Those are ice gloves & booties to help with the neuropathy. I wear them for 3 hours.
